Whenever Wherever the heart leads

Kagome sat on the beach with her towel and water sunbathing in the warm sun.

Letting out a sigh of co tempting comfort her body so warm and relaxed she thought she

died and went to heaven. This is heaven compared to the feudal era where she was

constantly in arguments with Inuyasha, demons after the jewel shards, blood be spilled

was not a heaven on earth but Inuyasha. 'Inuyasha the gang I miss them...I just can not

return to them for Inuyasha has chosen her. There's no place for me in his heart and I

can't force it.' Misery waved through her heart forgetting everything but that half-

demons face, those eyes of heated gold rushing her breath for another. 'He was and

always be my first love nothing can change that.'

Moisture filled her eyes of brown she hurt so much but she had to just forget him

it can only destroy her if she keeps on pondering on it. It has been two years since she

last saw anyone but could she make the trip back and handle such things. She could not

know with out at least trying. Packing up her things she set back for home. Not to the

shrine but to her expensive apartment she purchased to move away from the shrine where

the well sat tempting her. It is time she faced her fear of returned and make the journey;

getting out of her Lavender convertible opening into her apartment of Victorian beauty.

Halls all gleaming white living room nicely mauve green, kitchen soft baby blue and

navy blue smiling this was her taste of living home away from home. All alone with no

brother to watch over no crazy gramps and mother well she was always wonderful. Yes

it was time to move on and return to them. Return to...Inuyasha.

Dropping her suite case on her king sized princess bed of royal blues. Emptying

her closet of all her new purchases and old calling in for a flight ticket to Tokyo first class

she was lucky they had one left for the 8 o'clock flight in two hours. Showering quickly

changing into a white silk blouse and black pinstriped pants drying her long ebony locks.

Adding mascara, eyeshadow and just a little bit of light peachy gloss. Making up wasn't

her thing but in time she turned out to love the colors it brought out in her features

emphasizing her big chocolate brown eyes.

Skipping on one foot as she slips on her black mid heal squared shoes while

pinning in her silver rectangle earrings calling the house keeper to watch her home while

she is gone for month to be with her family. Calling in to the office telling Mr. Toboshi

she was off for month vacation with her family and she was off to the airport. This was

it restitution from all my fears I'm returning to you Inuyasha if you like it or not.

On the plane she read and took a nap impatient to return to her beloved Tokyo and

the Shrine. Finally getting into a taxi she headed for home. Excitement evident in her

eyes and shaking body which wanted to choke the taxi driver to make him hurry his butt

up to get there, after getting stopped in traffic time after time making it an hour before

she got home. It was midnight now so the family would be asleep not expecting a thing

of her return. Carrying her heavy bags up she saw her home and the tree where she first

met Inuyasha in his time. She was home! 'I'm home and no one can take that from me!'

Entering she went to her old room it still was in the same order as she left it two

years ago in a rush to escape her fear of him coming or not for her. Mother kept things in

tip top shape more cobwebs or dust. The sheets were freshly washed fragment of spring

morning air spinning she laughed out loud. Life was good!

"Who's there?" Sleepy Sota zigzagged in rubbing his heavy eyes. Sota was in

fifth grade and growing into a handsome young man, tears of joy she hugged Sota tightly.

"Sota! Its your big sis!" Sota soon yelled for mom and gramps to hurry into the

room. Mom and Gramps came quickly gramps laughing with joy mother crying her eyes

out. Happy to see them all feeling awful for keeping out of touch with them over the

years but she was ready to redeem herself of her faults.

Next Day

Cooking breakfast for the family the simple American breakfast FRENCH

TOAST and EGGS enjoying the happy atmosphere of family talk until Inuyasha came

into the conversation.

"Kagome...you know when you left not shortly after that Inuyasha arrived in a rush searching for you," Sota said after swallowing up his food.

Kagome went silent head bowed her eyes shadowed. "Oh I'm sorry sis I should of..."

Kagome smiled brightly teeth bright and showing, "That's ok Sota did he really? I'm leaving for a couple of days..."

"No you just got home Kagome sweety!" Mother cried afraid to lose her daughter again.

"Hehe...mother I'm not leaving back to America I'm going to the feudal era is

all," Kagome assured her poor startled mother. "From know on mother you won't have

to fear of losing her daughter again. Chow!" Waving cheerfully with her backpack on

her back gentle purple tee and jean shorts and leather strapped sandals. Coming to the

well she breathed in deeply. "I can do this...things have changed but I can do this..."

Closing her eyes she jumped into the well floating through time until she landed in the

feudal era at the bottom of the well.

Things looked the same though more vines have grown in but that was basically

all. Taking a hold of one of the vines pulling her body out of the well into the sunny air

glancing left and right nothing was different the trees still all there. Swinging her body

over the backpack flung her farther then she planned landing on her back. "Whoa! That

was graceful..." Standing up she dusted of her backside. As she wasn't looking

something headed in her direction.

"...eh....Kagome?" Kagome's hands stalled her heart thumped hard. That voice

it couldn't be could it? Slowly looking up, same red outfit, to the hip was the sword the

great Tetsusaiga then those eyes of gold flaming the very soul with the stare his silver

locks and those doggy ears sent cravings to touch them. What was she thinking? She

can't do this! Turning around she made to flee through the well again when a hand

grabbed her by the shoulders gentle settling the action to run. Kagome was scared and

she knew it but she did come back to see him to fix her fright of the past.

"Inu...yasha..." She sighed sorrowfully looking away as he turned her around to

look at him. Where is his Kikyou that he so easily chose over me? Why is he here

though...? Tears escaped her tight shut eyes cascading down her face. Bowing her head

more so he could not see the hurt and feared feelings she was having also the feelings that

never have left her...true love for him still locked deep inside.

"Kagome...don't run away again from me...please..." Kagome looked up then

wind floated up suddenly flower petals gently falling from the trees to the soft earth. Did

she hear him right? He doesn't want her to run away again...from him? Looking to

those eyes they spoke no lies to her that she would most likely see there but deep sorrow

and comfort. Kagome held her breath as she saw his face slowly inch closer to her.

Heart racing wild from her his face just inches away from her getting the jitters "Whoa!"

Flinging her arms in the air causing Inuyasha to fall over flat on his back. "Ack...I'm

sorry Inuyasha!" Kneeling quickly beside him... "You startled me!"

"Kagome when someone makes a move you don't knock them over! That ruined

a romantic moment!" Inuyasha growled through his teeth.

"Hey! Don't you get up set with me! Inuyasha, where you going?" Inuyasha

walked away quickly away down the trail.

"To the rest of the group to tell them the news they've been worried sick about

you. Shippo has been bugging me to find you...its good your home he'll quit his

whining now... Now come on!" 'Inuyasha you are a jerk some days but even though you

say they were worried I know deep down you were worried just as much. Still what

about kikyou I don't understand this at all.
